Vice President JD Vance is the odds-on favorite for the GOP nomination in 2028 at this point, according to polls, with no one else even close.
So it would figure that the Democrats are already trying to take shots at him. But what's pretty low is that they were trying to suggest trouble in his marriage because his wife wasn't wearing her ring during a speech. His wife, Usha, dispensed with that in short order, schooling them that she was “a mother of three young children, who does a lot of dishes, gives lots of baths, and forgets her ring sometimes.”
Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki also tried this narrative by suggesting that Usha needed to be "saved" from JD. That effort crashed on the rocks as well.
The problem they're going to have with Vance is that he's smart and he's funny. He blows their attacks out of the water and mocks them in the process.
They were spreading a recycled rumor on Monday, alleging Vance had a fight with his wife in a restaurant. Now, if ever a photo looked like a fake/AI picture, this one does.
Seriously, why would anyone believe this? I guess we've seen that Democrats have believed a lot of things that weren't true, as long as they fit the narrative that was being pushed, like Joe Biden being as sharp as a tack.
But it was Vance himself who just mocked the rumor into the ground and finished it off with his response.
"I always wear an undershirt when I go out in public to have a fight loudly with my wife," Vance said sarcastically.
It's just such a dumb effort, that's the perfect way to treat it — with humorous disdain.
People loved his response, and some resorted to some of the fun Vance memes.
The Democrats still have three more years before 2028, and they're already imploding over Vance. They're in for a long haul.
